Closing the Yield Gap: Protecting Farmers’ Profits w/ Acre Shield

I don't know. You owe it to yourself to check this out. Now, bankers, crop insurance agents, seed dealers, anyone that you have, we're signing them up as distributors. Full disclosure, we do pay them up to 15% commission. So if you bring in your crop insurance agent, he owes you a steak dinner. Okay. All right. But these guys also give our farming friends a little more vetting.

Because they look at AcreShield, they go, oh, you're backed up by an AM Best A-plus reinsurer superior. That's the best rating you can get in the world. So they do some of that due diligence that I always like my stockbroker to do. And that's what they'll do. And then at the same time, they can make a commission by helping their farming friends solve this universal yield gap problem.

I think it is. It's a great way to differentiate your offering. And what I like is we make our distributors the heroes to the villain called yield gap.

Closing the Yield Gap: Protecting Farmers’ Profits w/ Acre Shield

I used to have a shirt that my wife gave me 20 years ago when I was getting out of balance. It was called Balance. And every now and then, building a venture, you're all in. She would give me the Balance shirt. But subsequently, we now have changed that word from Balance to Circular. And what I mean by Circular is that, look, she knows that it requires 80 hours a week.

It requires 80 hours sometimes when you're in harvest or planting, okay? But I also come back and give back to the family. I still believe in I have date night with my wife. We just became empty nesters. The last one went off to Iowa a week ago. Libby's off and running. And, you know, we're going through that change ourselves. But it does take a really good partner to support you in a venture.
